Advent Prayer Retreat
Advent is again upon us – a season of longing and waiting. For those of us who know grief from the death of a child, it may be a season of even heavier sorrow as we struggle to face the holidays without our child. There is great suffering, but Advent promises hope, the hope of a promise that will be fulfilled, a promise that He is close to the broken-hearted.
As we begin Advent, we invite you to join us for a special virtual event. We are honored to have Katie Weiss, bereaved mother and founder of Behold Visio Divina, to guide us through an Advent Prayer Retreat. Katie will offer reflections through sacred art, prayer, and beauty to help us find hope and consolation to carry us through the Advent season to the fulfillment of the Promise at Christmas. Together, we will find hope that our suffering is not the end of our story.
Monday, December 2nd via Zoom from 6:00 pm - 7:45 pm CT
The event is free for subscribers to our Family Support Toolbox, but registration is still required.
All other families are invited to register for $10.
If you are a part of our Red Bird app, you will receive a month of free access to our Family Support Toolbox resource library with your registration fee.

Harrisburg Women's Conference
Suffering is an inescapable reality of our human experience, with each of us bearing our own crosses and sometimes helping others to carry theirs. Suffering is hard! And some crosses create deep, perhaps lasting, wounds that lead us to question why we suffer and where God is in all of it. Drawing on her experience as an educator, ministry leader, and lifelong learner in the School of Suffering, Ann will share an honest account of carrying her own crosses and the lessons she is still learning. School is in session as she will challenge you to reflect on your own lessons, become better companions to fellow sufferers, and encounter Christ more deeply and intimately in the process.
Meet our founder, Kelly Breaux, at the Diocese of Harrisburg Women’s Conference on Saturday, October 19, 2024. The conference theme is Hope and Healing at the Foot of the Cross. She will be speaking during the panel discussion.
